Terroir:
‘Les Traverses’ is a lieu-dit situated in the village of Bévy, off Vosne-Romanée, at an altitude of 405 metres. The name ‘Traverses’ is likely to be derived from the Latin word ‘Transversum’, implying a steep incline on the slope. The plot is nestled at the edge of the forest, with south-facing orientation. The grapes in this vineyard benefit from the ample sun exposure, as well as the cool temperature from the high altitude, hence achieving optimal ripeness. The soil comprises a very thin layer of clay and limestone.
Vinification:
The grapes are sorted twice, once in the vineyard, another in the winery.

About The Producer
Valéria Naudin's namesake winery is based in Ladoix, Burgundy. Valéria’s foray into the wine industry began in a mid-career switch in which she worked as a cellar-master at a wine shop in Paris. Her entrepreneurial spirit brought her further into wine education, where she founded a tasting club, conducted masterclasses and organised seminars. Meanwhile, she ventured into wine production, attaining a diploma in agricultural facility management as well as accumulating experience at Domaine Jean-Louis Bergen in Saint-Bris-Le-Vineux and Domaine Michel Mallard et Fils in Ladoix. Valéria premiered wines in her name in the 2020 vintage, with the help of veteran producer Bernard Zito.
As a winemaker, Valéria commits to low-intervention processes to elicit purity and terroir-driven personality in the wines. Through her flagship cuvées, she spotlights and redefines less-known microclimates with perspectives from her unique craftsmanship. To date, Valéria continues her work as an wine educator and advocate, teaching tasting at the Professional Formation and Agricultural Promotion Centre in Beaune.
